exportExecutionDefinitions Web Service Example

The following code uses Apache HttpClient to export execution plans.

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*; // Apache HttpClient

String webServiceToken = "e39a0b5b-45db-42db-84b2-b85028d954d5";

URL service = new URL("http", mWebServiceHelper.getHost(),
  mWebServiceHelper.getPort(), 
  String.format("/servicesExchange?hid=%s&sid=%s&nodeID=%d", 
  "exportExecutionDefinitions", webServiceToken,
  NODE_ID));
	
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(60000);
HttpMethod fileGet = new GetMethod(service.toExternalForm());
int status = client.executeMethod(fileGet);
System.out.println(fileGet.getStatusLine());
String exportedExecutionPlanResponse = fileGet.getResponseBodyAsString();
System.out.println(exportedExecutionPlanResponse);
